Rosh HaShana, Adam's awesome birthday is here, ushering in the New Year. In this Rosh HaShana Temple Talk special, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflect on the legacy of Adam HaRishon, the first man, whose descendants – great and small, individuals and nations – are examined on this Day of Judgment. Tune into the last Temple Talk for 5773 as our hosts discover that it's the breath of Adam that counts…and that breath, blasting from our souls through the narrow opening of the shofar, can make the all the difference in the world. Temple Talk will back next year (next week, that is) in 5774…and may it be a year of great blessing for Israel and all humanity…may this be the year of the rebuilding of the Holy Temple!

WEEKLY TORAH PORTION: HA'AZINU - ROSH HASHANA MESSAGE: Enter the new year of 5774 with a song in your heart. Ha'azinu, a microcosm of the spiritual history of Israel and G-d, is a beautifully compelling song that challenges all generations of man. We stand before the King in song and prayer as we cross the threshold into a new year. Shana Tova!http://youtu.be/lpA_c2J1glM

5773: THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE'S YEAR IN REVIEW: As we approach Rosh HaShana, the New Year, it is appropriate for every individual to reflect and take stock on all that we have accomplished over the past twelve months, and to strive for self-improvement. The Temple Institute has many accomplishments to be proud of throughout this past year, and at the same time we are equally focused on the goals we have set before us for the upcoming year. See and read about some of the Temple Institute's highlights for the year 5773, as well as upcoming projects for 5774!http://www.templeinstitute.org/5773-year-in-review.htm

THEN AND NOW: PLACING TWO LOGS UPON THE ALTAR FIRE: It is a Divine commandment to add two logs of split wood to the altar's fire twice daily - before the morning and afternoon tamid offerings. This is derived from the verse, "The sons of Aaron the Kohen shall place fire on the altar, and arrange wood on the fire" (Lev. 1:7). Two separate priests carried the pair of logs brought in the afternoon, and those brought in the morning were carried by a single priest.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150356798294969&set=a.86889944968.20323.22738684968&type=1&theater
